This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) memorandum for a non-competitive procurement action by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime.

The procurement involves acquiring supplies and services on a sole-source basis from General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS), the original equipment manufacturer, for 580 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) supporting various GDLS military weapon systems including the Light Armored Vehicle, Anti-Tank systems, Infantry Carrier (Stryker), Assault Amphibious vehicles, and H-60 Helicopters. The contract will be awarded as a Fixed Price, Long-Term Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement with a 10-year performance period consisting of 5 base years and 5 one-year option periods, succeeding contract SPE7LX21D0068. The current contract expires February 25, 2026, with the proposed contract enabling ordering through February 2036. The NSNs are categorized under Acquisition Method Suffix Codes (AMSC) B, C, D, P, and R, with justification based on GDLS possessing exclusive technical data, data rights, and manufacturing knowledge necessary to produce these items. The estimated annual demand value, total 10-year value, and maximum contract value are redacted in the document. The solicitation will be posted on the DLA Internet Bid Board Systems (DIBBS) and synopsized on SAM.gov. Market research was conducted from June through December 2024, including a Sources Sought notice posted December 13-19, 2024, with one response received from LUMCO Manufacturing. The procurement does not require a subcontracting plan due to the Canadian Commercial Corporation's location outside the United States. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, and the items are classified as non-commercial. The J&A was certified by Contracting Officer Naleya K. Scott, approved by DLA L&M Competition Advocate George D. Peterson and Head of Contracting Activity Catherine L. Contreras, and coordinated by DLA Competition Advocate George W. Atwood III, with final approval by Senior Procurement Executive Matthew R. Beebe.
